Is Nike SB’s New Air Force 1 Low the Next Big Thing in Skate Shoes?

Nike SB has been dominating the skate shoe market with their iconic SB Dunk, but it looks like they may have a new contender for the throne. Rumors have been swirling about a Nike SB-designed Air Force 1, and now we have a first look at the “Flax” colorway set to drop in Spring 2026.

Collaborations and Success: Nike SB’s Strategy for Growth

Nike SB has been on a roll with their collaborations, teaming up with Jordan Brand for the Air Jordan 4 and dropping the Nike SB Air Max 95 earlier this year. Now, they’re looking to replicate that success with a skate version of the iconic Air Force 1.
